Research activities are an integral part of HUG's mission, and are carried out in close collaboration with the University of Geneva Faculty of Medicine.
The Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), a leading national and international academic institution, brings together eight public hospitals and two clinics.
Initiated in the 2000s and translating into four-year plans, strategic thinking at HUG is being developed in the context of a society and a hospital sector undergoing profound change.In this context of increased competition between public hospitals and private clinics, HUG is making every effort to ensure high quality of care and sustainable funding. Vision 20/20, HUG strategic plan 2015-2020, is based on a participative reflection that took place within the HUG.
